Grand Canyon West Rim Skywalk Ticket: All-Access Entry
About this tour
This all-access ticket covers entry to the Grand Canyon West Rim plus a walk out onto the Skywalk, the glass-floored bridge cantilevered over the canyon. You also get the hop-on hop-off shuttle between viewpoints, a zip line ride when it's running, and a $10 meal voucher, a $10 merchandise voucher, and all-day arcade access. The West Rim sits closer to Las Vegas than the national park and is known for its cliffside views over the Colorado River.
Highlights
- Wide canyon panoramas from Mather Point, one of the Grand Canyon's best-known overlooks.
- Walk a stretch of the Bright Angel Trail to feel the canyon's scale from below the rim.
- Catch the rock walls turning color at sunset from Hopi Point.
- See how the canyon's rock layers formed at the Yavapai Geology Museum.
- Step onto the glass-floored Skywalk at the West Rim for a view straight down into the canyon.
- Look down on the Colorado River from rim overlooks, inner-canyon trails, or rafting routes.
- Take in the canyon from the air on an optional helicopter or airplane flight.
- The canyon runs about 277 river miles end to end and drops close to a mile from rim to river in places.
- Exposed rock layers along the canyon walls record billions of years of geological history.

Good to Know Before You Visit the West Rim
Your ticket is for the Grand Canyon West Rim, which sits closer to Las Vegas than Grand Canyon National Park and is a popular day-trip destination from the city. By car it's roughly a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas, compared with about 4.5 to 5 hours out to the South Rim. Many visitors reach the West Rim on guided bus or helicopter tours that handle the driving and parking, though you're free to arrive on your own as well.
The West Rim Visitor Center generally runs from 08:00 to 19:15, with last ticket sales around 17:00, and winter hours can shift, so it's worth checking before you set out. Once you're there, the included hop-on hop-off shuttle links the main cliffside viewpoints over the Colorado River, so you can move between stops without driving yourself. Summer afternoons can bring sudden monsoon storms, and heat down in the canyon is intense, so bring water, sun protection, and sturdy shoes.
